Satawu marchers in Salt River

The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union and the Road Freight Employers' Association failed to reach agreement about salaries yesterday and long distance truckers will continue their strike today.

RFEA spokesperson Magretia Brown says they had received reports of pickets and strikes around the country yesterday but nothing major.

Satawu’s Randall Howard says today the union will resume talks with employers although yesterday’s talks failed.

“The strike will continue today until the matter is resolved,'' says Howard.
